Strength of Heated Metals.

Some interesting experiments on the
effects OF heating on the strength and
ductility of metals used for machines
and structures were recently made ut
the Royal dockyard. Portsmouth.
England. All bronzcs showed reg
ular. but not serious, decrease OF
strength and ductility up to q certain
point-wllich is between three and
four hundred degrees for ordinary gun
metals-beyond which the strength
suddenly drops to about onc.halt and
the ductility vanishes. Phosphor.
bronze preserves two-thirds OF its
strength and one.third of its ductility
up to five hundred degrees Fahrenheiti
and Muntz metal and pure copper are
also fairly satisfactory in these re-
spccts. Wrought iron gains In
strength up to five hundred degreesi
but loses in ductility up to three hum
dred degrees, after which it gains.
Open he arth steel is not affected in
strength by temperature of five hun
dred degrees. but its ductility is re-
duced one-half. -Arkansaw Traveller.

Worth Remembering.

A convenient method for rendering
ordinary drawing-paper transparent
for the purpose of making tracings.
and of removing its transparency SO as
TO restore its former appearance when
the drawing is completed, has been in-
vented by M. Puscher. 1t consists in
dissolving a given quantity of CASTOR
oil in one, two or three volumes OF abb
,olute alcohol, according to the thick
ness of the paper, and applying it by
means of a sponge. The alcohol
evaporates in n few minutes, and the
tracing-paper is dry and ready for inn
mediate use. The drawing or tracing
can DO made with lead pencil or India
ink. and the oil removed from the pa
per by immersing it in absolute alco'
hol. thus restoring its original opacity.
The alcohol employed in removing the
flrst oil Is of course, reserved for
liluting tho oil used In preparing tho
oext sheet. -Botson Budget

An exciting scene was witnessed 10y
tho people who were walking along
the quays in the neighborhood OF the
Pont de rAlma the other afternoon.
Just rs tho crowd was ut It's thickest /,
poor man suddenly jumped OH the
parapet Of tho bridge and throw him

Jumped into tho river after him. anC
succeeded in bringing him safe &c
shore. The spectators of this thrilling
incident clustered round the poor fol.
low and his gallant proscrvcr and
asked him why hc had taken so rash 9
stop. Want, no replied, had driven
him to suicide. Moved to tears by the
afll citing narrative. The man to whom
this victim of circumstances, over
which he had no control, owed his
life, put his hand into his pocket and,
producing all the cash which he
had about him presented it TO the suf.
fercr. ms ircd by this bright example
the crowd. which had mustered in
force. pressed silver aud copper coins
on the povcrty-sirickcn individual who
had sought waters grave. Soon q
very fair sum OF money was in his pos.
session. aud, with many protcstations
Of gratitude and promises that he
would cndcavor in future TO take tho
cups and downs"of life more philosoph.
ically. he slowly quilted tho spot in
company with the man who had so
CALAMITY rescued him. Now it so
happened that police inspector had
found his way among the throng, and
having less confidence in human nat
ure than tho worthy holiday-makers
who had been pouring francs and half
francs into the pockets of the would-be
suicide, bethought himself of keeping
an ego on the couple. The pair
walked OH until they reached q public.
house outside the beaten track. and
into this place of refreshments
the inspector followed them.
Oddly enough, their arrival appeared
to be expected with some impatiencc,
for quite IN assemblago of their friend {
greeted them with enthusiasm. Drinks
were ordered by the moor man who had
just been fished out Of tho Seine, and
as they were being discussed he gave
the company graphic account of his
adventure; but the story was n very
different ohc from that which the hor.
ror stricken spectators of the thrilling
incident would have. related. Instead
Of cliciting EXPLANATIONS of sympathy
and congratulations. it was received
with pcals of laughter, in which,
strange TO say, tho rescued man and
his gallant preservcr joined heartily.
The whole thing had been got up be-
tween them. One man threw himself
into the river to attract the attention
of the crowd; the other followed, and
the tale of suicide was trumped up.
The accomplice gave his money to tho
friend whom he had pulled out in
order that tho bystanders might be in
iuced to contribute freely. The "little
game" however. was entirely spoiled
by the police inspector marching the
,wo rogucs of to the nearest station.
